Ivy Farmhouse

Ivy Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It originally had a two-cell lobby-entrance plan, with a service cell added to the left in the 18th century. The main range is one storey high with attics and features two prominent two-storey extensions from the 19th century. The building is timber-framed and pebble-dashed, topped with a plaintiled roof that includes one gabled casement dormer. A 17th-century axial chimney is rendered at the base, with the shaft rebuilt in 19th-century red brick. Most of the windows are 20th-century casements.

In front of the parlour cell, a block was added in the mid-19th century, featuring a slated roof and both south gables adorned with undulating bargeboards and spike finials. The house has small-pane sash windows and a six-panelled entrance door with an oblong fanlight. There is a flat-roofed open porch supported by Tuscan columns. The 17th-century range displays typical framing, with stop-chamfered joists laid flat and a wind-braced butt-purlin roof. Various 18th and 19th-century extensions are located at the rear. The farmhouse is situated next to a medieval homestead moat.
